Djokovic loss and somehow JBF still butt-hurt to the point that he actually complement master MTO Nadal for not pulling his usual stunt at a particular time LOL :lol:
the butt-hurt is too strong with this one
it's incureable :mrgreen:

I don't think JBF is "butthurt", it was a very bad time to call the trainer even if Djoko really was in pain(and it looked like he was).

just pointing out how much "love" *cough butthurt* JBF has for Djokovic to begin with that he can't even celebrate in Djokovic's defeat, that he even tried to dethrone Nadal of the title master MTO with Djokovic

I don't think JBF is "butthurt", it was a very bad time to call the trainer even if Djoko really was in pain(and it looked like he was).

Hence the booing.

Was the crowd "butthurt" ?

LOL shamelessone, Ralph took a bathroom break at freaking matchpoint. It's not even comparable,cmon now. :lol:

Look Djokovic pulled his stunt at the wrong time(don't know what he gained by doing it if he was truly faking it which makes me wonder whether it was a stunt at all.) Kinda weird how that goes. But yea, BAD TIMING.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I hated when Nadal did it, hate when Nole pulls it. It's awful and makes tennis look like a sissy sport.

Not nearly as sissy as Italian footballers with their eternally painful shins. Probably where these infirm Euro tennis players get the idea for these shenanigans.

But we'll never know if he was really hurt or not. So tough call. If, however, he played up the stretching and grimacing, even one little bit, to justify taking a timeout at that point in the match, it's the most despicable thing I've ever seen on a tennis court.

You are comparing the SF of MS level with the last game before your opponent's serve(to serve for the championship) in a GS FINAL?

LOLworthy.

Plus, I didn't accuse Djokovic, he looked like he was really out of it physically(so I'm not questioning the validity) but his timing was bad. Hence the booing, by a crowd that usually is warm to Djoko.

Question: How many times was Nadal(master of the MTO, amirite?) booed by the crowd(outside of Paris obviously cause they boo there for anything, even when you check the marks - ON THE ONLY SURFACE WHERE YOU CAN DO SO) when he took MTO's/bathroom breaks?

It is time to change the rule on MTO's. Make it a loss of the next game and loss of serve. The opponent was not at fault for your injury, and he should not be penalized for the injured person's time wasting. Too many players are using it to try to change the momentum. Make them pay a penalty for it.

I don't have a problem with the MTO, it's when he took it that really irked me. Just as Murray is ready to serve it out at 5-2 and the crowd is pumped up Djokovix pulls this "timeout". Since he's been known to quit while losing, play possum, etc. everybody was assuming "ah Novak's up to his bs acting, gamesmanship again." Hence they booed. Aussies and Brits would have been too polite to say a word. The French would have been worse than the New Yorkers is terms of booing. They have them beat in that category. I don't know if he really was hurt, but that's his fault for faking all his life.

They absolutely should change it, and adding a penalty, perhaps a break of serve would work, because then it's only going to be used, if it's absolutely necessary, and you can't continue without it, versus the way it's currently used to throw off your opponent, if you're tired and want a little massage, absolute BS.

I mean seriously, how bush league was that 'injury TO' right before Murray served for it. He pulled the same thing last year's final when Nadal was gaining momentum. Utter lack of class and showing his true colors when the going gets tough. He has clearly surpassed Nadal when it comes to BS medical timeouts, at least Rafa took his GS final beatings like a man and didn't resort to tactics like that to try to throw off his opponent. No respect for him after today.

I'm sorry, but no, just no.

Djokovic isn't even close to Nadal's cheating habbits. Nadal stole matches in the past, where Nole didn't. True, it wasn't very nice from Nole, but still, its nothing like what Rafa does.

if he would have ran back out to play with out taking the extra time to get some help and ended up pulling/creating a bad injury that took him out for a good part of the season. Then people would be ..oh man what a moron he was losing anyway he should have just took a MTO or retired then play when he knew his body no longer could.

The cramping looked 100% legit so I don't blame him for taking the time out he obviously needed. There'd be a rule against late match timeouts if the USTA had a problem with it. What are the rules for bathroom breaks? Could you call for a bathroom break right before your opponent serves for the match? I wonder how tennis would change if the players had a certain number of timeouts to use at any time, for any reason like other sports like basketball?

Apparently no rule against such a bathroon break. See Federer v. Nadal, IW this year.

I admit the timing was suspect, but I believe he was injured. But who knows, maybe the grimacing the game before was only to justify the injury time out at 2 - 5.

Even the Nole haters should admit that the guy ALWAYS gives his opponant credit and congratulates them before he says anything else in his on court interviews. That is how a real man takes a loss, no whineing, no excuses. I would not call that a bad sport.

How do you know what Pain he had to go through? Before slinging Mud, atleast think once.

Let me tell you this.... when Djoker went for lob to get one of the breaks back in 2nd set, Murray held to his thigh and limped slightly. May I ask you whether the usual Andy 'Drama Queen' Murray appeared from nowhere?

you don't know... he might have had a slight discomfort like Djoker had towards the end.

This, honestly, it's hilarious.

JBF#1 always had it in for Novak.

Sure, I don't condone Novak asking an MTO at that particular point of the match but that hardly makes him the worst sportsman ever.

Not to mention that from what I've seen Novak concedes points (when he knows the umpire is wrong) to his opponents more often than other top pros and he also doesn't act like his whole family died or something whenever he loses a big tennis match but instead warmly congratulates the opponent, he's one of the best "losers" in tennis I've ever seen, especially among top stars.

Again, he's far from perfect, but worst sportsman ever? What a load of crap.

If a medical timeout was granted, obviously the trainer determined that the injury WAS NOT cramping, and was a pull or tear or some other kind of condition, since the rules do not allow a medical timeout for cramping.
